(KCEN) -- Austin police have arrested a man they said was high on bath salts when he attacked an EMS worker on June 1.

Last week a paramedic was kicked in the throat so violently by 18-year-old Giovanni Leask that she had to be taken to a hospital.

The incident is an example of what first responders are now facing because of a drug known as bath salts.

Someone called police to report Leask had jumped off the Lamar Boulevard Bridge over Lady Bird Lake, then swam to the south shoreline and left the water.

Attacking a public servant is a third-degree felony.

Bath salt attacks have now been reported in Florida, Louisiana, and now Texas.
